Editors' Review

Despite a minor oversight, this handy application offers quick access to your commonly used applications and folders. You need only drag and drop files, folders, and programs to MedalFolders's simple interface and press the Done button. Right-click on the program's system-tray icon to view and launch your shortcuts. While similar programs also support hot-key access for your shortcuts, MedalFolder's menu proved quick and easy to use. Any user who wants to keep desktop clutter to a minimum, while still having quick access to his or her favorite or frequently used files, will appreciate this simple but effective freeware tool.

Publisher's Description

MedalFolders is a clean professional system tray application that you can use to create links to all your favourite files, folders and application on the MedalFolders menu. Simply drag and drop any file, folder or application on the MedalFolders form to create a new link. If you hate a clustered taskbar and desktop you will love MedalFolders.

Looks smart. Easy to put in anything you want a shortcut to. It auto sorts them into Applications or Files & Folders. If you want you can change name of item when you add it. Opens things much faster than clicking on a desktop icon does.

Cons

CNET/Download.com link doesn't work, I had to download it from another site.
When you install it you need to set it to run at startup, otherwise you have to hunt for the app when you want it; there's no option to alter this later.

Summary

It's not really much different from what you can do with XP Start Menu, and as I see no point in duplicating anything on my computer, I am going to uninstall it.

It is clear that the above writer is trying to promote his/her own software. MEDALFOLDERS is 200% Free. No charges. Maybe his incorrect and misleading comment would be a warning NOT TO try the tool he mentions.
